RA3 System Requirements

Recommended Posts

How much free hard drive space do I need to install ? Also, will a laptop with the following specs be able to play it well?

Dell Inspiron N5030

3 GB RAM

Intel Pentium (2.3 GHz)

Also, do I need multiple CDs to do multiplayer...or maybe I should say multiple files, because I'm downloading it from Amazon.

Ok, last question. I am downloading it as a birthday present for my brother. Since it's a program on the computer, I can't exactly wrap it up, so how would you suggest I give it to him? I want to do something creative.

Amazon tells you the download size. It also has a minimum system requirements chart.

After you have installed the game, make or acquire an icon image that looks like a present or cake or something birthday-ish, change the shortcut icon and rename it "Birthday Present" or something similar. Tell him to click it and he will then discover what was inside.

The processor should be enough.... for minimum detail (unless it's dualcore, which would make medium or high detail possible)

Hmmm.... If you don't intend to make great LAN parties with 10+ people, I think one disc should do OK. You can play skirmishes without the DVD in 1.12 legit version, so this shouldn't be much of a problem.

Maybe just make him a shortcut to a folder with a mysterious name and has one image with a birthday wish done in Photoshop and another folder with RA3 in it?

Um...I noticed Windows 7's not on the list of supported OSs, but it's not on the list of unsupported either. Does anyone know if it will work on 7? The computer my brother uses is still XP so it shouldn't be a problem for him, but mine is Windows 7.

Also, when downloaded, it says, "Please insert the CD". This makes no sense, because it's downloaded. Has anyone else downloaded games from Amazon before that could explain how to do this?
